NI Service Locator Missing

[DeleteMe]

I get the error that NI Service Locator is not running. I can't even find the file nisvcloc.exe on my hard drive, although i've just installed the latest versions of everything. Can I download the file myself somewhere?

Thanks! Well, the service is not even in the Start»Settings»Control Panel»Administrative Tools»Services. It is sort of missing. I've read all the forum threads and kb i can google, but no solution so far.

DeleteMe,

Hmm.. I believe R&D changed some services around in recent versions.  Try starting and/or restarting NI System Web Server and NI Application Web Server and lets see if this solves the problem.

Best,

I have this same problem:  the NI Service Locator service is missing.  I tried restarting both NI Application Web Server NI System Web Server.  All I get is "Could not start [the service] on Local Computer.  Error 1075:  The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion."

I have the exact same problem. 

I also tried installing NI Labview 2013 f2 patch but to no avail. 

any solution?

I found a solution to the problem. which solved my problem so fortunately I don't have to do a whole reinstall. 🙂 

it was in this thread - https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/kNIFarmResultServerNotResponding-LabVIEW-Error-Code-123011/m-p/2575...

the solution was suggested by T-REX$

many thanks to him.

For what it is worth, I have encountered this problem numerous times, almost always when doing a LabVIEW Installation "on top of" an existing Install.  Sometime around LabVIEW 2011, NI began to distribute their Installation media with Setup on DVD1 only, the idea being you'd choose everything you wanted at the beginning, shuffle the disks as directed, and reboot when everything is done.  This almost always (in my hands) produces grief, with one or more services stopped or dead.

The "fix" during the installation is to install LabVIEW (no toolkits or modules), reboot, install Real Time/FPGA, reboot, install everything else.

An alternative "fix" that has occasionally worked was to open Control Panel and tell Programs to "Repair" the entire NI installation.  More disk shuffling, so be prepared.

I've not tried the trick of manually restarting a stopped service.  One of the problems is that there are about a dozen services that get started and stopped during the (normal) course of a LabVIEW install ...

Hey,

I tried repair, installing all available patches, upgrading everything and none worked.. 

Add the service manually seems to be fine. now all my services runs fine. all those who failed depended on NI service locator (though it didn't say so in their dependancy). I compared the list of services with another computer with an install that went OK and it seems everything is there. 

I have many versions of NI labview installed and I need them to be operating correctly.  so I couldn't just do a cleanup of everything NI and a reinstall.

Now Vivado compiler fails to compile. but thats a different story. 🙂
